• Adding certain sections of building 200 for additional MACS space.
• Hard copy provided at the March 16, 2024 In Person Board Meeting.

From The SCSC April 10, 2024:

• As required by the charter contract for Miles Ahead Charter School (school) and SCSC Rule 691-2-.06, state charter schools must submit any amendment to a lease to the SCSC Executive Director before its execution. The State Charter Schools Commission (“SCSC”) has received and completed its review of the draft lease amendment for an adjacent building, commonly known as Building 200, on the property located at 4665 Macland Road, Powder Springs, GA 30127.
• The purpose of SCSC review is not to review the decisions of the school’s governing board or the propriety thereof but rather to mitigate the likelihood of violations of applicable law or the charter contract. SCSC staff did not identify any lease amendment terms that violated laws applicable to the school, charter contract provisions, or public policy standards. Therefore, if the governing board deems it appropriate, it may execute the proposed lease amendment in the form submitted to the SCSC.
• The lease amendment and associated transactional documents require additional and ongoing diligence by the governing board to ensure compliance with the charter contract and relevant laws and regulations. The governing board is encouraged to remain cognizant of the impact of the proposed lease amendment and any additional amendments on the school’s ability to meet the financial performance standards contained in the SCSC Comprehensive Performance Framework (CPF), incorporated into Paragraph 9 of the charter contract. The governing board maintains the discretion to determine the financial arrangements, including executing the lease amendment, which it deems most advantageous to the school.
